Description

The following are some updates I'd like to make to the https://constellation-app.com website. This is a living ticket and is a placeholder to share ideas.

Inspirations

The following sites inspire me and I would like our website to look something like them:

• https://www.anaconda.com

Actions

• [ ] Migrate the site to Jekyll (not finalised but is likely the way to go to help with online help and also make future website edits easier)
• [ ] After you click on the specific version to download (Windows, Linux, MacOSX) I would like the page to redirect to a "getting started" page like https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual/get-started
• [X] The download versions for Windows, Linux, MacOSX should have an icon for the OS beside each button
• [x] A button to a"Get Started" page (which doesn't exist yet)
• [ ] https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation-app.github.io/pull/1#issuecomment-851886351
• [ ] https://github.com/constellation-app/constellation-app.github.io/pull/1#issuecomment-851896509
• [ ] move the "our story" to the blogs section and replace the "our story" section with a "check out our blogs" or something like that.
• [ ] Add a case study of some real world applications so interested users can see more what the application is capable of. EG. mapping out the SARS-CoV-2 DNA sequence from #469

Consider having a Learning Hub as a menu option which could have a link to the Blog, New Starter, Training exercises and Case Studies

Consideration for this ticket's second action point, taken from the description of ticket #1041:

Suggestion to improve installation instructions for Constellation; include new starter guide and sample files #1041

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the Constellation website https://www.constellation-app.com/
2. Review for installation instructions -> unable to find any

Expected behaviour:

1. Download and install instructions are available and easily accessible, something similar to what Adobe provides as an example - https://helpx.adobe.com/au/creative-cloud/help/download-install-Photoshop.html
2. The quick start user guide is available on the website
3. There are some sample files for users to get a taste of the applications capability

Actual behaviour: I wasn't sure how to get the application installed.

Reproduces how often: 100%
